Hurtigruten Cruise

Well another fantastic day at the conference, plus an excellent activity to talk about.
Today the local organizers had organized one of three activities for each person...hiking, fishing or a bus/ferry trip.  I decided to do the bus/ferry trip in order to go see some of the Norwegian countryside.  The bus tour was okay, crossed a few fjords on ferries and saw some nice fjords and mountain scenery.
Our bus even went through a couple tunnels, one through the center of a mountain, and the other below a fjord.
Then we boarded a Hurtigruten Cruise ship for a 4 hour ride back to Tromso through the fjords.  This was quite nice.  I treated myself to an expensive dinner in ships restaurant.  The meal was three courses and included seafood soup, reindeer steak and a cloudberry dessert.


It was nice to sit on the boat and watch the scenery as we cruised along.

Another late night but a good one.
